Looking at the Great Fox on the black-framed large screen.
Everyone's expressions were strange, but no one spoke.
No one dared to act like a clown at this time.
Otherwise, they would offend quite a few people.
After a long while, a familiar laugh came from the chat room.
Senju Hashirama: Hahaha~
Everyone: "..."
As expected of the god of shinobi, please, go ahead and laugh.
The footage on the black-framed large screen continued:
["Gaara. Gaara of the Sand Waterfall."]
[Gaara looked at Naruto.]
[Seeing that Naruto still maintained that gentle smile.]
[His brow furrowed imperceptibly.]
[He didn't quite understand.]
[Since he felt the aura of a kindred spirit from Naruto.]
[Such a smile should not appear on the face of a kindred spirit.]
[If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it.]
["Let's go."]
[After saying that, Gaara turned and left.]
[At this time, before leaving, Kankuro looked at Uchiha Sasuke and asked, "What is your name?"]
[Sasuke glanced at him.]
[He said indifferently: "Uchiha, Sasu-ge."]
["Kankuro."]
[After Kankuro gave Sasuke a deep look, he immediately turned back and followed Gaara's footsteps.]
[Temari even looked back and waved her hand at Naruto.]
[Seeing this, Sakura quickly took a step forward and blocked Temari's view.]
[Temari's delicate brows furrowed slightly.]
[But since they were leaving, she didn't bother to argue with that eyesore of a pink-haired girl.]
[As for Sakura, seeing her looking back every three steps with such a reluctant look, alarm bells rang loudly in her heart.]
[No way!]
[I must tell the sisters.]
[Otherwise, someone might steal our home!]
[Um... it seems the other party is coming openly... but still no, at least... at least she has to get the approval of the sisters!]
[Sakura could more or less sense some things.]
[At this time, Naruto didn't pay much attention to these things.]
["How about finding an opportunity for the New Shinobi Sect?"]
["Wouldn't it feel more like revenge if you did it yourself?"]
["Bah!" The Great Fox spat, turning its head away as if it didn't want to pay any attention to him.]
[Naruto smiled, "Stingy."]
["Humph!" The Great Fox gave a tsundere snort.]
[I am stingy, so what?]
[However, doing it personally... well, that is indeed not bad.]
[Otherwise, a Jinchuriki is still a Jinchuriki; if Naruto beats him up, that fellow Shukaku won't feel any pain.]
[It would be better to enter the Sealing Space of Shukaku's Jinchuriki and let Shukaku have a good taste of the power of our bonds.]
[Thinking this, the Great Fox felt much better.]
[Naruto saw her eyes rolling and guessed that this fox had probably thought of some bad trick again.]
[He smiled, and his consciousness returned.]
["Let's go."]
[Naruto saw Sakura still vigilantly looking at the end of the street where the three had disappeared.]
["Big Brother Naruto~!"]
[Konohamaru scrambled up and looked at Naruto with a face full of gratitude.]
[From the look of it, he seemed about to pounce over again.]
[Sakura immediately snapped back to her senses and slightly raised her small pink fist.]
[Konohamaru's neck shrank, and he didn't dare to act recklessly again.]
["Behave yourself." Naruto gave a light laugh, and then led Sasuke and Sakura away.]
[Ise Udon and Moegi quickly waved goodbye.]
[After the backs of Naruto's group disappeared at the end of the street, Ise Udon and Moegi dragged Konohamaru toward the Konoha Hospital.]
["Come out."]
[After walking for a while, Sasuke suddenly stopped.]
[His voice was icy cold.]
[Sakura also stopped.]
[But Naruto paid no heed.]
[Those three had long since been sensed.]
[However, Naruto could feel that these three didn't seem to have much interest in him, but instead had been focusing on Sasuke.]
[Especially the moment Sasuke activated his Sharingan just now.]
[These three almost jumped out.]
['No matter, let's see what's going on first.']
['These three... are different from the Ninjas of other Villages. Otogakure?']
['They've only recently begun to have contact with the Five Great Ninja Villages... they rose not long ago, but from the performance of these three, they don't look like what a newly risen small Ninja Village should be like.']
[In the shadows, the Sound Ninja Kin Tsuchi's delicate brows furrowed slightly.]
["How were we exposed?" She was clearly somewhat puzzled.]
["Humph!"]
["It doesn't matter. Since he's the target, it's fine if we're discovered."]
["We've gained quite a bit of intelligence this time. The other two worth noting are Uzumaki Naruto and Gaara of the Sand Waterfall."]
[Zaku Abumi's mouth curled into a sneer of disdain.]
[From the current look of it, whether it's the target Uchiha Sasuke, or Uzumaki Naruto and Gaara of the Sand Waterfall, none of them seem to be very troublesome.]
["It's better to be a bit careful; after all, this is a mission assigned by that adult."]
["It's still better not to be exposed yet. It won't be long before the Chunin Exams begin; we can scheme then."]
[Dosu Kinuta, hunched over, narrowed his only exposed eye.]
[Looking at Sasuke who was looking over here, he made a decision.]
["Humph!"]
["So timid... but, it is indeed a mission assigned by that adult... I'll listen to you and not expose ourselves for now." Zaku Abumi curled his lip in dissatisfaction, but he didn't choose to act rashly.]
["Good, in that case, let's go." Kin Tsuchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately followed their lead.]
[Exposing themselves too early would mean losing their advantage, which was not what she wanted.]
[Thus, after the three reached a consensus, they immediately retreated toward the rear.]
["Rats in the gutter, get out here!"]
[Sasuke's brow furrowed, and he was about to give chase.]
[But he didn't expect that while the other party clearly had movements ready to expose themselves just now.]
[They immediately retreated in a very short amount of time.]
[Seeing that the other party had already retreated beyond his range of perception, Sasuke could only give up.]
["Humph!"]
["They don't even dare to show themselves to the light... nothing to fear."]
[Sasuke then quickly caught up with Naruto and Sakura's pace.]
...
Kin Tsuchi?
She seems quite decent... Black-framed Naruto-kun should accept her, right?
Orochimaru was lost in thought, and several other beautiful figures appeared in his mind.
[Hokage Building.]
[Inside the conference room below the Hokage Office.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi sat at the head of the table.]
[Sitting beside him was naturally the newly appointed Hokage Assistant, Asuma Sarutobi.]
[Many Konoha Ninjas had also noticed.]
[This meeting was very different from previous ones.]
[The former Hokage Assistant and leader of the Root Organization, Danzo Shimura, was gone.]
[The rumors were not groundless.]
[The Root Organization seemed to have been brought under control.]
[Looking at the new Hokage Assistant.]
[Everyone had different thoughts.]
[However, looking at the composed Third Hokage, some dissatisfied Ninjas could only suppress their thoughts.]
[Asuma is, after all, the son of the Sandaime, and he is also one of the heroes of several recent major events.]
[Furthermore, besides that, he also has the status of a former Guardian Shinobi.]
[He is more or less connected to the Daimyo.]
[Even... Asuma also holds the position of the Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force.]
[This Hokage Assistant position, with the support of his father, the Third Hokage, can be considered perfectly legitimate.]
[After Asuma glanced at Kurenai Yuhi, who was looking straight ahead, he sighed inwardly and then straightened his expression.]
["Well then, let the meeting begin."]
